Acupressure is a treatment method that uses fingers to compress acupoints along the meridians. Shiatsu is different from massage in that it does not have soft movements and is therefore different from Western massage. At the same time, techniques of compressing or pulling the hands, feet, back, etc. are also used. Acupressure practitioners apply pressure to hundreds of acupuncture points along meridians, or energy lines. To increase the intensity of pressure, use your palms, thumbs, knuckles, elbows, knees, or even your feet to perform acupressure. Acupressure technique is expressed in the form of touch.
